What will you do if Bush wins?
| Fri, 08-20-2004 - 12:02pm |
I would like to know what you all will do if Bush wins? I don't know if I can handle another 4 years. Any ideas of how to reclaim our country and restore democracy and freedom? I'm worried that another 4 years will increase the authoritariansm and absolute power that Bush has come to claim and further trample on our constitution and individual liberties. I'm truly frightened.

Most people I've talked to that are opposed, make it a point to use passages from the Bible to claim that Gay marriage should not be permited. I personally could care less what a gay couple does, so long as they don't include me.

Sure, there are jobs out there, but if it costs more for childcare, transportation and other expenses than the job pays, should one take the job just for the sake of having a job?
Sorry we have gotten off topic, this was about Gores lack of speaking skills. We were referring to polititions needing speaking classes. In case anyone was wondering.
I do though have serious problems with the very real fact that families feel those of us without kids (married with no children, and/or single) in some way owe it to the American family unit to sacrifice for their behalf. You cannot tell me it is fair that I have to pay the same school taxes with no kids that a neighbor with ten kids pays. Does not take a rocket scientist to see who is getting the bargain out of the deal.>>
Yep every family with children is begging for your money to put into their schools. Buy the way schools are not just paid for with your property tax, and chances are that if that family really has 10 kids as you keep claiming, they are likely to have a larger property and therefore pay more property tax. Tax funds also come from local tax and sales tax. Most likely those parents with 10 kids put a good chunk of cash into sales tax for all the clothes, and supplies they have to buy. Lets not forget that even in public schools there are many expenses the parents are asked to pay to school on top of your's and their precious tax money. So yes most families with children are likely contributing more to the school system then those with no children.

It's not like I don't fall into this same problem, but it has been discussed a long time ago, and I will have to live with it. It's not fair, but I'm not going to cry about it. And those elderly aren't being greedy, they had their money put into the system the same as the rest of us. It was underfunded for them because as the Babyboomer name suggests there are alot more of them then ever before. Top that off people generally live alot longer. So the SS system will have to pay alot more out to them then they planned for. Let's not forget also that many dissabled people get SS also, another factor in not having the funds needed to pay everyone what they should get.

Again, whaaaa it's not fair! There are and have always been alot of things in America and everyplace else in the world that are not fair. If you don't like it quit crying on these boards and go do something productive about it. You still have not convinced me that what you are complaining about is so unfair. I paid for taxes for a long time when I had no kids. But it doesn't matter because the school system needs the money and I will gladly do my part if I have kids or not.
